Solemn Mass: October 13, @ 5 pm

St. Wilfrid (c. 633 – c. 709) was an English bishop and saint. Born a Northumbrian noble in 634, he entered religious life as a teenager and studied at Lindisfarne, at Canterbury, in Gaul, and at Rome. 

 St. Wilfrid was an outstanding personage of his day, extremely capable and possessed of unbounded courage, remaining firm in his convictions despite running afoul of civil and ecclesiastical authorities. He helped bring the discipline of the English Church into line with that of Rome. He was also a dedicated pastor and a zealous and skilled missionary.
